- Define domain boundaries, architectural patterns, and standards that improve reliability, maintainability, and development velocity.
- Drive system-level improvements in performance, scalability, resilience, observability, and cost efficiency
- Act as a technical mentor, multiplier, and role model, enabling engineers to deliver autonomously with high quality.
- Establish and uphold engineering best practices, including testing strategies, code reviews, instrumentation, documentation, and operational excellence.
- Lead root cause analysis, incident reviews, and continuous improvement efforts.
- Partner with infrastructure, platform, and DevOps teams to define standards for deployment, CI/CD, monitoring, and reliability automation.

- Understanding the tradeoffs between short-term and long-term goals and balancing immediate needs with strategic initiatives
- Experience designing and operating systems on cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), with an emphasis on scalability, reliability, and observability
- Experience working with a team on large initiatives with the ability to course-correct as needed
- Strong experience documenting and bringing team clarity to complex solutions
- Curiosity, drive, and customer-focus - you love solving real problems with elegant solutions.
